Thiamethoxam WP 10%

Thiamethoxam   is a broad spectrum insecticide belonging to the group of neonicotinoids. The   target sites are the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors within the nervous   system of the insect. Tricosene is a fly pheromone and acts as a sexual   attractant. Thiamethoxam is devoid of cross-resistance to other insecticides   like organophosphates and pyrethroids.

Thiamethoxam   WP 10% contains sugar. It thus attracts the flies and is taken up orally. The   presence of tricosene increases significantly the attractiveness of the   product.

Indications

Thiamethoxam   WP is used as a paint-on for the control of flies in and around animal   housing and farm buildings. The major target species is the house fly Musca   domestica.
